title: [The future role of liaison-psychiatry].
abstract: Recent reorganization of psychiatric services implies separation of psychiatric and general health care services. Liaison-psychiatry is not widely recognized in Denmark, albeit a psychiatric subspeciality in other countries. Research at the interface between psychiatric and somatic illness has resulted in significant developments in the understanding and treatment of patients with complex medical disorders. A model for the future cooperation between liaison-psychiatry, the general hospital and general practise is proposed.
